Valleyboy you can order your car from these places i think my deposit was £200.The salesman then told me when the car comes in come down and check it out if your not happy pull out of the deal,my car still had the wax and plastic cover to protect it when shipping.Then you just register it with your local VW dealer and there happy to do all service and warranty work no problem.The people that buy the cars that have been sitting for ages must not be checking the cars out so its there own fault.

cheers fella, much appreciated.

as i said we've never had a NEW car and it would be nice for a change.  It was just the warranty that freaked me out.

A friend, of a friend, of a friend suppose to work in an Audi/VW garage hopefully I might see him when he's back over Crimbo and I'll pester him for more info.

I guess your just as  likely to buy a 'Friday afternoon car' from a stealer as Motorpoint etc!

They usually come as part of the winter pack, so you got heated seats too??

I thought the winter pack was the heated wing mirrors, heated seats, and washer low warning. No???

I've got the heated wing mirrors and washer warning but no heated seats - it didn't get the winter package...i thought the heated mirrors were standard?

Hi All,

Have had an on the road quote from EuroImports for new a MK5 GTI, metallic, with phone preparation (can't afford any other extras!)

The bloke quoted me £18,250. It seems a little high to me but he kept banging on about the strong Euro.

What price should I haggle for?

Your expert help would be much appreciated...
